Absolutely. You signed a contract to pay for a loan of money. It doesn't matter whether you still have the property that was purchased with funds from the loan. The promissory note is a contract to pay and is enforceable in court.

Lenders are paid after the property is sold. Hopefully they will receive at least the balance of what you owed on mortgage. If not they will be looking to you eventually for any deficient balance if they are not able to clear you debt totally through the sale.


What is deed reconveyance?

The Trustee's power under the Deed of Trust is reduced to finalizing the beneficiaries instruction to remove the instrument from the encumbrance on the owner (Grantor)'s title to the asset. This is the result of the Promissory Note no longer either having any payments left to be made or that the lender sold the note to an investor and thereby the Deed of Trust no longer has the power to foreclose.


How do you get a letter from your previous mortgage company stating you no longer hold responsibility of property due to foreclosure?

You should receive a letter from the mortgage company stating that mortgage lien is released when the house is sold or auctioned off. This does not mean that you no longer have an obligation unless the mortgage company sold the house for an amount that would cover your total balance including all collection costs and any other costs, like real estate taxes, utilities etc. that were incurred. If the mortgage company did not have a deficit balance left, you should have no trouble getting such a letter, but if there is a balance due, the letter may state something to the effect that the property has been sold but a deficit balance of a certain amount of money is due.

How do you file lien on property that you have a promissory note on?

You need to sue the debtor in court and win. If you prevail in your suit you can request a judgment lien. The lien can be recorded in the land records if the debtor owns real property. The property cannot be refinanced or sold until the lien is paid. Generally, personal property can be seized by the sheriff to satisfy your lien.

Do you pay income taxes on rental forclosed property?

Possibly. It depends on your basis, how much depreciation you have claimed, whether the loan is recourse or non-recourse, and whether the bank is canceling the unrecovered balance of the loan. A foreclosure is treated as if you sold the property to the bank. On a recourse note, it is treated as if you sold the property for the fair market value at the time of foreclosure. On a non-recourse note, it is treated as if you sold it for the balance of the loan. (I am assuming the loan balance is more than the value of the property, otherwise you would have just sold the property and paid off the loan, right?) On a recourse note, if the bank decides not to pursue a deficiency judgment against you, then the cancelled debt (the difference between the FMV and the balance due) is taxable ordinary income (unless you meet the insolvency or bankruptcy exceptions). You'll also need to recapture depreciation, just like on an ordinary sale. Unlike a homeowner whose personal home is foreclosed upon, you will be able to claim a capital loss.


I loaned 15000 and received a promissory note I am told that this is no guarentee that I will get my money back upon sale is it possible to put a lien on the property?

You need legal advice that is particular to your state.First, there is a statute of limitations in your state that governs how long a promissory note is effective. If the note remains unpaid you can bring the matter to court and obtain a judgment if the terms of the note have been breached. If you obtain a judgment in your favor, you can ask the court for a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records against the debtor's real estate. Once the lien has been recorded the property cannot be sold or refinanced until the debt is paid.It would be worthwhile to invest in a hour with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

I can answer the question I asked. The answer is NO. For the State of Arkansas I was told by the Dept of Finance that I should have done it when I sold the car. My tough luck, my being nice to the buyer. The buyer is a leach on society.AnswerEven though you didn't place a lien on the title when you sold it, you should be able to sue and get a judgment for the unpaid amount of the note. With the judgment you can attach the buyer's property, including the car.
